Vertical wires can be stacked on top of each other, and only the top and bottom ones will be capped. The thin parts without caps only conduct directly above or below. The vertical wire has caps on each end that conduct only in the cardinal directions on the same vertical level as well as directly above or below. The direction is determined by the direction you are facing when you place the wire. The corner wire conducts only at its ends as well, but they are perpendicular to each other. The T-junction wire gets its name from the shape it forms and conducts in. The insulated wire, in contrast, conducts only at the ends. However, it does not conduct directly above or below: Looking from the side, it conducts to nodes on the same level, or the level above and below it. The normal wire conducts in the four cardinal directions, North-East-South-West, but not diagonally. Other locations are completely unaffected by whether it is on or off. In the pictures below, the black boxes denote where the wire conducts. Which adjacent ones that turn on are determined by the specific type of wire. Wires are off when you place them down, but they can be turned on by being conducted to.Ī Mesecon wire that is on (the wire is in the on state) will cause other wires and effectors adjacent to it to turn on as well, a process known as conduction. The on state is generally brighter or more saturated in color than the off state. First of all, Mesecon wire has two states: on and off. There are a lot of different wires that have distinct uses, but all of them perform essentially the same task. Left to right: normal wire, insulated wire, T-junction wire, corner wire, vertical wire, MESE block. Some things can act as both receptors and effectors, which is useful for doing things like modifying signals. Effectors do things based on those signals. Wires conduct signals around, while receptors do the actual creating of those signals. We'll look at each one in detail below, but for now we'll go through a summary. There are three basic types of things in the Mesecons mod: wires, receptors, and effectors. Mesecons resembles real life circuitry in that you have wires that carry information around and various things that affect or are affected by them, but the basic similarities end there.

#Minetest mesecons mod

Mesecons is a digital circuitry mod for Minetest that allows players to create circuits that can do nearly anything. Let's look at exactly what Mesecons can do, and how you can use it. That won't do! This is a usage guide for new Mesecon users, including those without Redstone experience. So far we've already looked at a couple of machines, but not at Mesecons itself.
